Team USA lineup today: USA's projected lineup against Canada for 4 Nations Face-Off final

Tonight, Team USA will look to complete its sweep of Team Canada when the two sides collide in the finals of the 4 Nations Face-Off. After picking up a dominant win against Finland in their opening game, Team USA was able to make it 2-0 against Canada to clinch a spot in the finals.

Now, as the team looks to win it all for US Hockey legend Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, the team will be up against Canada, the winningest country in international hockey.

After missing USA's final round robin game against Canada, there was some skepticism surrounding whether or not Brady Tkachuk would be healthy to play in the finals. According to US coach Mike Sullivan, who spoke with media members on Tuesday, he's expecting to have his roster at full strength for the finals.
